**** I ride a BMW R1150 RT (bike's design protects well against rain/wind), and I am originally from Minnesota.

I have used this jacket for two winters and it has been excellent. I am 6', 195 pounds, and have 44 inch chest - the jacket fits well. I bought a large in the Hi Viz, and mainly use this jacket for my morning commutes when the temperature dips below 40. The Hi Viz keeps me visible in the predawn and early morning hours. The jacket, with the thermal liner, keeps me warm well into the 20's; underneath I wear my normal work cloths. Below 20, I use a patagonia pullover underneath it, and have been warm even down to the single digits. I do wear a pair of heated gloves when the temperature dips below freezing, but I have never felt the need for a heated jacket in my morning commute (my commute is only 30 minutes, and if I was touring long distance in this weather, I do think a heated jacket would be necessary.) Even in the single digit weather, I always arrived at work toasty warm.

The dual controller for my heated gloves clips on to the velcro strap around the waste. If i need to add the patagonia pullover, I can easily adjust the straps around the arm, waist and wrist so as to remain comfortable and not feel constricted. The adjustable collar keeps the jacket from ever feeling constrictive around the throat, but keeps out the cold and rain. I love the how the jacket comes well below the waist, especially in the back, to keep cold air from creeping in. I can put my wallet, keys, etc. in the two big front pockets, my phone in the inside pocket, with no fear of them getting wet.

I have ridden many times in rain, and been totally dry when reaching my destination.

The armor in the shoulders and elbows is solid.

Once it gets warmer - above 40, I tend to wear other jackets. On the few occasion I have taken out the liner and opened the vents, I have stayed cool, but would not want to wear this jacket throughout a Missouri summer. Without the thermal liner, the jacket also seems a little bulky on me. I can definitely see the benefit of this jacket if I were touring.

The price cannot be beat for what you get. I wonder what those thousand dollar touring jackets have over this one!

** I ride a BMW R1150 RT (feet well protected from rain/wind), and I am originally from Minnesota.

I have worn this boot every day for the last with year, in temperatures ranging from 9 to 98 degrees. The boot functions much better in colder weather. I wore regular socks in the 30s and below freezing I simply wore smart wool - my feet never got the slightest bit cold. Above 80 my feet get warm.

My feet have always stayed completely dry in the rain.

Boots are not flashy, but look great and are super comfortable. I forgot my shoes and wore them once at work (I am a teacher). I was on my feet all day, and my only complaint is that my feet got a little warm.

Excellent product - I will definitely buy Sidi again (perhaps some for warmer weather)
